In the typical enterprise, employees use hundreds of apps that significantly expand the endpoint attack surface-whether IT is aware, or not. Clearly, apps are a fact of life and employees will use them as they see fit. The best defense is application whitelisting, but attackers show us otherwise: In fact, all 10 of the Top 10 attacker groups use whitelisted software to infect endpoints. And with long patching cycles and insufficient training, IT security teams need something more.

However, a win-win approach exists so that users can benefit from any productivity app they want without compromising the security of the entire infrastructure.

Join us for a first-look webinar into Symantec Endpoint Protection Hardening, whose isolation capabilities allow end users to download and use any app safely.

Join us to learn how you can:

- Discover and assess the risk of applications on your endpoints automatically.

Three major trends define the Cloud Generation chaos that organizations face today:
1) Use of cloud applications
2) An increasingly mobile workforce accessing these cloud applications from outside the perimeter
3) Use of both corporate owned and BYO devices (PC, Mac and Mobile)

On the other hand, the threat landscape is constantly evolving with adversaries taking advantage of these trends to attack organizations with ransomware, targeted attacks and mobile malware.

Existing solutions from the industry have been largely a mixture of disjointed point products to solve these problems piece meal. All of these have led to operational complexity for Organizations who face a severe shortage of skilled IT security personnel.

Attend this webinar and learn how endpoint security can solve these problems while increasing operational efficiency and lowering total cost of operations with a single agent architecture.

In addition, Symantec will discuss how the latest evolution of Symantec Endpoint Security can:
-Turn the tables on attackers by exposing intent and delaying their tactics using deception techniques and proactive security
-Expose, investigate and resolve incidents including file-less attacks with integrated Endpoint Detection and Response
-Harden environments against cyber-attacks with complete visibility into application attack surface and isolating suspicious applications
-Extend advanced security to mobile devices to protect them from network based attacks and OS/App vulnerabilities.

Enterprises migrating workloads from traditional data centers to Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) providers are discovering that a "lift-and-shift" approach to security doesn't work. Traditional on-premises security tools do not scale with workloads and storage in dynamic cloud environments or support the continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) workflows central to modern DevOps practices. And while some workloads are well suited to the public cloud, others often remain on-premises or in private clouds, necessitating multiple security solutions and multiple consoles generating alerts. An efficient, single console security solution is needed to protect workloads and storage against advanced threats and malware across today's heterogeneous hybrid cloud environments.

What is a hybrid cloud and how is it different from securing a traditional data center?

Why is the development of applications for the cloud different and how does it impact security?

What are some solutions currently available for protecting my hybrid cloud workloads and how do they do it?

As attackers become more sophisticated, advanced protection and hardening are necessary for added layers of security.

Cyber criminals and targeted attack groups alike continue to hone existing methods and identify new channels of infection in order to ensure success. On the heels of WannaCry, Worms continue to experience a renaissance, spreading aggressively across corporate networks.

As vulnerabilities on desktop computers become increasingly rare, attackers need to look to new channels and new platforms for infection, with IoT becoming an increasingly attractive proposition.

In this webinar you will learn:

• How cybercriminals are diversifying in order to remain profitable
• The new methods of threat propagation causing headaches for organizations
• The next generation of IoT threats
• Recent targeted attack campaigns

Did you know millions of hosts (Domains, Subdomains, or IP Addresses) pop up every day and many of these have lifespans of less than 24 hours.

Many organizations choose to set Secure Web Gateway policies to block users from going to uncategorized sites because of the risk they represent, even though many may be legitimate destinations for business purposes.

In a similar fashion, many enterprises choose to block sites that have a heightened risk rating, but are not conclusively risky. This leads to website over-blocking and unhappy end users. Some sites are known to be good, others are known to be bad, the problem comes for those in the middle where insight/information is lacking.

Key Learning Objectives:

•Learn about the world’s largest civilian threat intelligence service and how it will protect you from Malware attacks

•Learn how to set policies to send any traffic with inconclusive risk or uncategorized by Global Intelligence Network down a Web Isolation path.

•Learn how to boost productivity for businesses without incurring any additional risk.

Cloud computing enables companies to be more agile and squeeze the inefficiencies out of the development cycle, such as procuring compute resources on demand rather than waiting for IT. But as companies move fast to deliver new products, security must move faster to keep up with new regulations and threats – or risk slowing down the business.

Cloud configuration errors can lead to gaping holes in cloud infrastructure deployments and present low hanging fruit for hackers. Security and DevOps teams need a proactive, automated approach to monitoring and securing their cloud management plane.

Join us for this informative webinar on how to achieve security compliance for public cloud Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) platforms such as AWS and Microsoft Azure.

There is a natural tension between decentralized, distributed DevOps and the traditional command-and-control approach of classic security management. When moving to the cloud, organizations must learn how to decentralize and democratize the security process.

Join us on December 18th to learn how to automate security into the DevOps toolchain and strike a balance between agility and security in the cloud.

During this session, you will learn:

-How DevOps and InfoSec teams can align to the new DevSecOps paradigm

-Why continuous compliance management is a new business imperative

-How to build security in to your Continuous Integration/Continuous Development pipeline

Cloud computing has rendered the traditional security stack irrelevant, as traffic partners change, new devices are added, and cloud applications pop up virtually overnight. It’s time for the Cloud Generation to rethink requirements for enterprise security.

Darren Thompson, Vice President and CTO, EMEA, walks customers through how changing usage models mandates a cloud generation architecture in enterprise security. He’ll walk you through the power of Symantec’s Integrated Cyber Defense platform—unifying cloud and on-premises security to provide advanced threat protection and information protection across all endpoints, networks, email, and cloud applications.
